Still teasing with that pig block

I have it in mind to make something for my dad for his birthday, and naturally my first thought is that it needs a pig.

And those postage stamp yellows on the right are going to be an ear of corn, because pigs and corn just go together like, well, pigs and corn.

The plan is for a seat cushion for the bench he sits on when he changes shoes. I even found some pig fabric to work in. Updates will follow.
And there are other projects in motion, that will be revealed in the fullness of time.
Chain quilting is a thing, right?

Bindings applied and being hand stitched in the evenings.

And check out this great monkey fabric I found while going on a quilt shop jaunt with my sister-in-law on Friday. I'm turning into a real sucker for monkeys, as my Silly Monkey blocks continue to pile up.

A yard here, a fat quarter there.... I'm sure I won't end up with too much, right?
After all, how many monkey fabrics could there be?

Linking to Oh Scrap! at Quilting is more fun than Housework because scraps!

Chain quilting...Still giggling over that! Look forward to seeing what you are making with the binding attached. I think there is more fabric in the binding than in the piece. I always enjoy seeing what you are linking up with Oh Scrap!
